[letterhead of Dr. Kathryn Talmadge, Denver, Colorado] Doctor Still As I Knew Him. � Years ago, when I was a little girl living in Schell City, Missouri, I heard my mother discussing a wonderful doctor whom she had heard described as a bonesetter. She made up her mind to try his treatment as a last resort to see if she could find relief from a pain in her right side which had kept her an invalid for years. � In my family all held our breath until the Miracle Man came again to our town. Meanwhile the Doctor was making trips through different parts of the country demonstrating his new science, which as yet had not been named. We at that time did not know the travler was our beloved Doctor Still, although a friend said she had heard that the name was something quiet. � At last came the eventful day the town turned out to see what might appear some from mere curiosity, some in the spirit of those who went to our Savior to be healed, and these did not go away disappointed. They found a most kindly man who worked not for pecuniary reward but for love of humanity. � When Mother told the Doctor about the abscess in her side, which had baffled all medical skill, he just smiled, pressed on a rib, gave her arm a twist, and assured her she would have no more trouble. It was hard to believe, but as time passed we all began to have faith, and the pain never returned from that day.
